Evaluation of the genotoxicity of (-)-hydroxycitric acid (HCA-SX) isolated from Garcinia cambogia

(-)-Hydroxycitric acid (HCA) is widely used as an ingredient for nutritional supplements aimed at reducing food intake, appetite, and body weight. In this study, the genotoxicity of HCA was evaluated using three tests: a bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames test), an in vitro chromosomal aberration (CA) test, and an in vivo micronucleus (MN) test. HCA was negative by the Ames test in the presence or absence of a microsomal metabolizing system. HCA did not induce mutagenic activity in the Ames test, and no significant mutagenic potency was indicated by CA tests. However, HCA significantly and dose-dependently increased the number of MNPCEs (micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes/1000 polychromatic erythrocytes) and PCE/(PCE + NCE) ratios according to the MN test. These results suggest that HCA preferentially induce micronuclei.     

The research of genetic toxicity of β-phellandrene

β-Phellandrene, a plant extract, can be used as natural pesticides and synthetic materials. As a factor that human may be exposed to, the toxicity information about β-phellandrene is scared at present. This study focused on the genetic toxicity of β-phellandrene. The genetic toxicity of β-phellandrene was evaluated by micronucleus test, comet assay, Ames test, and chromosomal aberration test. In this study, 2850, 1425, 712.5 mg/kg β-phellandrene were used in vivo experiments (comet assay and micronucleus test). For Ames test, pure β-phellandrene and different concentrations were used in the experiment. According to the results of cell viability assay (MTT test), the concentration of chromosomal aberration test was formulated. The result of comet assay showed that β-phellandrene can significantly induce DNA damage at the dosage of 1425 and 2850 mg/kg. While the results of Micronucleus test and chromosome aberration test showed that β-phellandrene does not lead to apparently genetic toxicity on chromosome level. Ames tests suggest that β-phellandrene had the ability to increase gene mutation with or without S9 mixture. So, it could be drawn that β-phellandrene would have certain genetic toxicity, and the toxicity is reflected as DNA strand breaks and mutation. This study filled the lack of genetic toxicity study of β-phellandrene, and enriched information for risk assessment for β-phellandrene.

Mutagenicity tests for isepamicin (HAPA-B)

To detect mutagenic activity of isepamicin (HAPA-B), a new aminoglycoside antibiotic, we carried out several mutagenicity tests using microorganisms and cultured mammalian cells. Effects of the antibiotic on DNA-lesion induction and repair were examined using the Rec-assay with Bacillus subtilis and a sister-chromatid exchange test with cultured Chinese hamster cells. The drug caused no increase of mutagenicity indices in both tests, suggesting that the antibiotic has no DNA-damaging effect. To further investigate the effect of HAPA-B on gene-mutation, we performed the Ames Salmonella/microsome plate assay and the thioguanine resistance mutation test using cultured Chinese hamster cells. In both tests, the antibiotic induced no increase of mutation frequencies over spontaneous levels. Clastogenic activities of HAPA-B and its effect on chromosome disjunction were examined by the chromosomal aberration test using cultured Chinese hamster cells. After a short- or long-time exposure, the antibiotic induced neither structural chromosome aberrations nor an increase in the number of tetraploid cells. The negative results from these five test systems with different mechanisms strongly suggest the safety of HAPA-B regarding mutagenicity.

Genotoxicity of pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) disodium salt (BioPQQ™)

The genotoxic potential of pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) disodium salt (BioPQQ™) was evaluated in a battery of genotoxicity tests. The results of the bacterial mutation assay (Ames test) were negative. Weak positive results were obtained in 2 separate in vitro chromosomal aberration test in Chinese hamster lung (CHL) fibroblasts. Upon testing in an in vitro chromosomal aberration test in human peripheral blood lymphocytes, no genotoxic activity of PQQ was noted. In the in vivo micronucleus assay in mice, PQQ at doses up to 2000 mg/kg body weight demonstrated that no genotoxic effects are expressed in vivo in bone marrow erythrocytes. The weak responses in the in vitro test CHL cells were considered of little relevance under conditions of likely human exposure. PQQ disodium was concluded to have no genotoxic activity in vivo.

Developmental toxicity and genotoxicity studies of wogonin

We studied the developmental toxicities and genotoxic potency of a widely bioactive plant medicine-wogonin in vivo and in vitro. In the in vivo developmental experiments, high dose of wogonin (40mg/kg, intravenous injection) significantly induced the maternal weight gains and affected fetus including bodyweight, resorptions, live birth index and fetal skeletal alterations. In Ames test, no concentration-dependently increased TA98, TA100, and TA102 revertants were detected in wogonin groups whether in presence of metabolic activating enzymes or not. In the chromosome aberration test, wogonin dose-dependently increased structural chromosomal aberrations in CHL cells both with and without S9, even the effect was all judged (-). In micronucleus assay, no significant changes of MNPCE/PCE and PCE/NCE were found on mouse bone marrow micronucleus in wogonin groups. We concluded that wogonin induced developmental toxicities on pregnant mice and fetus, and the genotoxicities were positive. However no significant malformation was observed and only in vitro potency of chromosome aberration was weak, which suggested us wogonin could be a relatively safe drug in clinic.

Toxicological assessments of an ethanol extract complex of Descurainia sophia and Peucedanum praeruptorum: Subacute oral toxicity and genotoxicity studies

An ethanol extract complex of Descurainia sophia seeds and Peucedanum praeruptorum roots, called BP10A, has antitumor potential against colorectal cancer. In the present study, we evaluated the 28-day oral toxicity and the genotoxicity of BP10A. The subacute toxicity test was done through oral administration to mice. ICR mice (n = 10) received daily oral BP10A doses of 0, 500, 1000 and 2000 mg/kg for 28 consecutive days. During administration, general clinical signs, food consumption, organ weights, and hematologic, biochemical and histopathological parameters in male and female mice were assessed. No significant adverse effects up to the highest dose (2000 mg/kg) were found. The genotoxicity was evaluated using a battery of tests, including an in vitro bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) test, an in vivo micronucleus test using bone marrow cells in ICR mice and a chromosomal aberration test using CHL/IU cells. BP10A did not show any genotoxic signs in the Ames (up to 5000 μg/plate), micronucleus (up to 5000 mg/kg) and the chromosomal aberration tests (550-1750 μg/mL). Therefore, BP10A was considered safe based on the subacute toxicity and genotoxicity results, indicating that it is a useful pharmaceutical material with no adverse toxicity.     

Potentiality of protamine sulfate as mutagen

The mutagenicity of protamine sulfate has been clarified based on chromosomal aberration of cultured chinese hamster lung cells (cell line) in direct and metabolic activation methods and microbial mutagenesis (Ames test). In chromosomal aberration test, protamine sulfate caused cytotoxicity in the high doses (2500 and 5000 micrograms/ml) in the presence of rat liver homogenates (S-9). But very negligible or no cytotoxicity occurred in direct method at high dose (5000 micrograms/ml). Structural aberration of chromosome was not occurred in either of the methods. In microbial mutagenesis study, protamine sulfate did not show any cytotoxicity to microbes up to the dose of 5000 micrograms per plate. Furthermore, it did not have any effect in microbes like mutagens or like some toxic agent. The study reveals that protamine sulfate is not mutagen.     

Genotoxicity studies of 2,6-dinitrotoluene (2,6-DNT)

The potential genotoxicity of the rodent liver carcinogen 2,6-dinitrotoluene (2,6-DNT) was evaluated in compliance with the guidelines for genotoxicity studies of drugs (Notification No. 1604, Nov. 1, 1999, Ministry of Health and Welfare, Japan) and the OECD guidelines for the testing of chemicals by performing the bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay, the in vitro chromosomal aberration assay, and the in vivo comet assay (alkaline single cell gel electrophoresis) in rat liver. In the Ames assay, 2,6-DNT was moderately positive irrespective of metabolic activation. In the in vitro chromosomal aberration assay, under conditions where the test substance would precipitate out, weak structural aberrations were observed with or without S9 mix at each dose at which the cell growth rate was about 40 to 50%. The in vivo comet assay yielded positive results in rat liver; that is to say, the increases in % tail DNA in liver in the 25 and 50 mg/kg groups were observed statistically significantly and dose-dependent. Our findings are in accordance with previous findings in the in vivo/in vitro unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) assay in rat liver and in a young rat liver micronucleus assay, although the rat bone marrow micronucleus assay gave negative results. These results suggest that test systems using liver are a useful method for the in vivo genotoxicity assessment of chemicals that require metabolic activation.

Comparative mutagenicity of apicidin and apicidin derivatives (SD-0203 and SD-2007), histone deacetylase inhibitors

The fungal metabolite apicidin [cyclo(N-O-methyl-L-tryptophanyl-L-isoleucinyl-D-pipecolinyl-L-2-amino-8-oxodecanoyl)] is known to inhibit histone deacetylase (HDAC). In this study, the genotoxicity of apicidin and its derivatives were tested using three tests: a bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames test), an in vitro chromosome aberration (CA) test, and an in vivo micronucleus (MN) test. Apicidin was negative in the Ames test in the presence and absence of the microsomal metabolizing enzyme system. Apicidin induced a significant increase in the total chromosome aberrations in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. In the MN test, apicidin induced mutagenic activity at the highest dose (1000 microM/kg). The apicidin derivatives SD-0203 and SD-2007 did not induce mutagenic activity in the Ames test and no significant mutagenic potency was observed in the CA test. However, these compounds significantly and dose-dependently increased the number of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (MNPCEs) as well as the PCE/(PCE + NCE) ratio in the MN test. These results suggest that apicidin and its derivatives preferentially induce CA and MN but are not effective in the Ames test.
